Canada needs to step up on the world stage

As Alberta prepares to host the G7 this month, the focus is likely to be on increased cooperation on trade. At the same time, these meetings are traditionally ones where Canada puts care of the world front and centre. In view of the pullbacks by the U.S. and others, we need to step up to end extreme poverty. As the line goes, its sucks that its us! Canada must continue to ambitiously support the Global Fund, nutrition, education, efforts to end TB, all saving millions of lives!
